So I have been a bad blogger and missed about 3 weeks! Yikes-I kept meaning to do a post but with packing, moving, and unpacking we have been insanely busy! Plus, I felt like I was writing the same things every week, so I figured you guys were tired for reading the same old thing =).
So we moved last Saturday, the 19th. We had about 4 of Logan's friends come from work to help us. We had one Uhaul and one guy brought his truck with a flat bed trailer. It took the majority of the day to get most of the things moved, 2 Uhaul loads and one flat trailer load, but the guys got everything moved in without much damage to anything....well besides my desk that didn't make it!
That night, Landon actually broke our TV. The guys left it at a perfect place for Landon to tip the plasma tv over. The next day we were getting ready to put it on the wall and as Logan lifted it, I noticed a giant crack going up the screen. We decided to try turning it on before we wasted all our efforts putting it on the wall for it to not work-good thing, because the crack lit up white and then fried the rest of the tv. Lesson learned for the boys, don't leave something where Landon can get to it! Thankfully, we needed a new tv and had planned on getting on Black Friday. However, we just got it a few weeks early =).
We have had a few snafus with the house. We had an issue with the AC in the attic not draining correctly and it activated some emergency shut off, so we were without heat/AC for about 5 days. We busted out Landon's small space heater since it was dropping into the 40s at night, so his room stayed warm and we stayed bundled the rest of the time. Someone came out to replace the bad part on Tuesday and was here the majority of the day! I am just glad it is fixed.
Landon is adjusting pretty well. He loves all the room in the house to run around. He is now extra crazy, so we are trying to teach him boundaries and to be more gentle (ha ha yeah right) with his toys since you can pretty much look at our walls and they scuff! He has had a harder time going to Mothers Day Out since his separation anxiety is pretty high. Today's drop off was awful, so I hope that next week is easier once we get back to our more usual routine. He is learning so many new things every day. He pretty much will mimic whatever you say. The other day he said a whole sentence after Logan-Mommy is at the house. Logan said it was clear as day. He is OBSESSED with babies. However, he thinks all babies are sad because he hears them cry. So as hard as I try to explain babies can be happy to, he is pretty convinced they are all sad. When he hears one in the store, he says baby sad. He also plays with his baby doll and will burp it, fake change its diaper, and rock it. It is pretty sweet. I can't wait to get more settled so we can get back to doing painting, coloring, etc. I think he really enjoys that. He is always very excited to show me his art from school. Overall, I think he is adjusting really well to our new house! He always calls it the "how", so I think he likes it =).
Most of the rooms are unpacked. Landon's playroom/office needs some work; I need to find a new desk since the other didn't make it. I also need to get a few more things from the garage inside so Logan can finish cleaning up the garage so we can FINALLY park inside the garage. I unpacked the kitchen first, then Landon's room, our room, and then the guest rooms. Logan still needs to work on the garage, break down all the boxes in the dining room, and put some things up in the attic.
Ok now time for the photo overload:
